Allergy Results...

We have accomplished finding a new Allergist in Santa Fe. We were very pleased with the practice we have found! Both of the kids needed to be skin-tested again...poor things! They both did a great job considering the circumstances!! The results???

Kimsey:
The doc. had never seen such a severe allergy to milk before!! So, we are still VERY allergic to milk, and egg, and will probably never out grow those. They did find allergies to bermuda grass and grass mix, which explains the environmental issues. And Kimsey is a very likely candidate to be diagnosed with asthma, but they like to hold off on that. However, she is back on daily breathing treatments for asthma prevention, and has graduated to an inhaler!

Joshua:
Here is the interesting case! Josh showed a 2+ on milk and egg allergy, however he rated a 2+ on the control, which means they are likely a false positive! So, we are going to confirm with a blood test, and HOPEFULLY he will have outgrown his milk and egg allergy!!! He has some mild environmental allergies, but he is doing VERY well!!

All in all it was a good visit. It was very long for the kids, and it is tough getting all the testing done, but they are champs!
PS I promise to post some snow pictures soon!
Lots of LOVE!!!
